How effective is contraceptive film at preventing pregnancy?

My partner and I both dislike condoms and I'm unable to use hormonal birth control.I'n considering using contraceptive film,the pull-out method,and not having sex while I'm ovulating.In my opinion this seems good because if the pre-ejaculatory fluid does contain semen then it'll be blocked by the spermicide and there also won't be an egg for it to fertilize to begin with.Howver my partner wants an outside opinion?Does anyone know the effectiveness of this method?Also how effective is contraceptive film to begin with?I've heard many different percentages.All answers are appreciated thanyou.

    I used it for a couple of years & it worked for me. He always came in me. Make sure you leave it in the advised time before sex. You can't use anything? Maybe the diaphragm? Do an internet search for the effectiveness of different methods. There are sites that list them. Film & pull out obviously would be very safe when you're ovulating if uts critical not to get pregnant, & film all other times. But for me the film worked fine.
